Categories and tags are essential tools for organizing and categorizing your content. They enhance your site's navigation and make it easier for users to find relevant information.
Note: A category is a class or division of things regarded as having particular shared characteristics. You use categories to filter content.
Categories allow you to build a clear hierarchy for your content, making it easy for both administrators and visitors to navigate. Categories can be assigned to headless (Additional) fields, enabling you to structure any custom content type you create.
Using categories helps maintain consistency, improves content discoverability, and supports scalable content management as your project grows.
